Arsky, Lysky, Porsky the Pie

Shelled Donetsk and made them cry.
When the Ivans came out to play,
Arsky, Porsky ran away.

You know, it would be funny if people were not killed by the hundreds. The Russian stories that Russian soldiers in Ukraine are on vacation and that the photographs of tanks are from a video game are hilarious. Equally funny are Ukrainian protestations that Russia is invading the Ukraine and using artillery.

We can find it comforting that some Ukrainian units are refusing to fight, thus opposing the madmen who run their country. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Poroshenko and his group are incompetent, otherwise they would have worked out a deal with Russia that the Russians can accept.

Equally to blame are the Europeans, who bluster and egg on Ukraine, a failing state of corruption. If push came to shove what would the Europeans do? The British had mothballed their last carrier and their armed forces can only be described as pathetic. If Scotland votes to secede, the English won't even have a decent military band. France is now without a government and their President rules by decree, just like the President of the Ukraine. Subtract the US from NATO and the rest of them can't fight their way out of a paper bag. Fortunately, O'bungle is occupied on the golf course or he would start WWIII.
